Pamela, Thanks for the suggestion! In regards to the XML file, it was a bug in the code we had for loading the flash (the dev was using the XML file before flash had a chance to load it). After requisite flogging of the dev (me), it works now.
In regards to the map attribution -- is there a way to move the attribution in the negative y direction (e.g. "north")? The way our flash "skin" works is that the map continues on down past the parchment to get a neat look. Shrinking the size of the map would show the attribution above the folds of the parchment but ruin the look we're going for. Any suggestions?
